This was a rescue by me. This 1982 G&L L2000E had dead pickups, needed cleaning, and needed a professional setup. This is really a very cool bass, but I'm trying to put together cash for yet another custom build. Plus everybody knows that I prefer 32" scale basses. So, my loss is your gain. The pickups are brand new from G&L. CB Perkins in San Jose did a professional setup on this bass. They and I both did clean up of old gunk. The finish is checked and discolored. The discoloration can be seen in the photos. I'm not sure if the checking shows. It is actually a very cool look for somebody that wants a bass with character. I'm including shipping cost within the continental US. I'll box it way better than the people that sold it to me. Or pick it up locally and we can work out a discount.
